Cleveland Browns fans ready for an end to the QB question -- Bud Shaw's "You Said It"

Day 12 of Cleveland Browns training camp in Berea

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel won't start Monday in Washington but will see action with the No. 1 offense. Head coach Mike Pettine won't name a starting quarterback for the opener in Pittsburgh until next week, which means more and more questions about the QB competition.

Such a low blow and total cheapshot, I'm surprised a "You Said It" contributor didn't think of it first.

Bud: How many more consecutive days can Coach Pettine be asked who the starting QB is before he finally goes "Ditka" on the media? – Keith, Cleveland

I believe he's getting close enough that one simple question asking if Rex Grossman is "closing the gap" should just about do it.

Hi Bud: Cleveland fans seem to be in a love affair with sports figures that have dissed them. A welcome home party for Lebron James, a statue for Jim Thome. Can First Energy Field being renamed Art Modell Stadium be that far behind? – Jim L, Parma Heights

Bud: While replacing my gerbil's bedding with Sunday's edition of Spin I noticed the new car ads on the reverse side have gone from luxury cars to sub-compacts. Have you gone green? – Jerry Winchell, North Ridgeville

Given the demographics of Spin readers I would've guessed the ads would be for waterproofing.

Bud: What is more frustrating and stressful: waiting for the decision on Josh Gordon, or the wait from Sunday to Wednesday for the PD to arrive? -- Jim D. Richmond Hts.

Apparently that depends on whether you have a sleepless gerbil.

Bud: Now with the new bullpens, would it be wise to have 50 Cent warming up when the opposing team is batting? – Bob K

First-time "You Said It" winners get a T-shirt from the Mental Floss collection.

Bud: Will hanging out with the Ohio St. band be a reasonable alternative to Las Vegas for Johnny Manziel? – Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park
